Chronicle EditorFastjet, the low-cost pan-African airline, has introduced FlexiTrip, a flight bundle solution that allows frequent flyers to purchase 10 one-way flights at a fixed price inclusive of taxes and fees.The FlexiTrip solution provides flexibility as flights can be booked up to six hours before departure time and is valid for travel within a year of purchase, subject to flight availability.
The 10 flights can be used by any of the three passengers nominated at the time of making the booking, allowing passengers the choice of who can benefit from the bundle flights.
“Fastjet has responded to the needs of its frequent fliers, many who have last-minute business meeting requests or spontaneously want to visit family and friends throughout the year,” says Nico Bezuidenhout, CEO of fastjet.
FlexiTrip provides frequent travellers with affordability and savings benefits too as the 10 flights are paid for in advance at a fixed price, which will not fluctuate close to departure date.
“This added service offering makes it possible for our frequent flyers to plan regular trips more efficiently and also budget better due to the fixed ticket price,” says Bezuidenhout.
The FlexiTrip package is available for domestic flights in Zimbabwe between Harare and Victoria Falls at a cost of $750, including taxes and fees. The option is also available on international flights from either Harare or Victoria Falls to Johannesburg in South Africa for $1,500, inclusive of two free check-in bags per flight and taxes and fees.
Additional service offerings from Fastjet include Freighty, a baggage upgrade option that allows its international route passengers to transport up to 80kg of checked in bags, being able to pre-book preferred seats, rent a car, book accommodation and pre-book airport parking to name a few. — Wires
